    It’s almost as though an AI designed to make pictures of kittens with boobs has no understanding of how electricity works.

    What the actual fuck. The prongs aren’t even oriented correctly. And the ‘live’ wire is just tied to ground.

    So glad we’re burning down the rainforests for this.

    For reference / non electrical engineers / visual learners:

    https://engineerfix.com/electrical/plugs/how-to-wire-a-us-plug/

    NA 2 Prong, Type A

    NA 3 Prong, Type B

    ‘Earth’ = Ground = the 3rd, round prong

    You can maybe see the AI has kinda sorta merged elements from both of these.

    The main problem is that uh… notice how in these real diagrams none of the lines are looped into each other, they are 2 or 3 distinct lines that feed into whatever is being plugged in…

    … whereas in the AI diagram… it just forms a continuous loop.

    Which… basically means that what the AI labels as ‘neutral’ and ‘ground’… aren’t.

    Doing that would instantly cause a short cicruit and potentially immediately start a or multiple fires, trip circuit breakers, etc, depending on the voltage/amperage avalaible to the outlet this AI ‘death-plug’ ie connected to, and how long it takes the circuit breaker to trip.

    … thats my layman understanding, corrections from any actual EEs would be appreciated if I’ve mucked something up.
